Bio
Multi award-winning singer and songwriter, has a gifted ability to speak to the soul with a diverse and eclectic range of genres and styles of music, from the sweetest lullabies to the darkest of melodic outpourings. An accomplished and versatile composer, classical guitarist and ukulele player, Fitzpatrick’s work is inimitable in its ability to bring the listener on a rousing and, often, emotional journey.
The title track of his debut EP, 'If', was selected as Joe.ie's 'Song of the Day' with several tracks receiving national airplay. The result of a hugely innovative and successful crowd funding campaign, 'If' demonstrates his sheer range of potential and originality. The provocative video for If offers an insight into the depth of this young musicians mind.
His bluesy vocals and tender style are enshrined by his expressive and tasty guitar and ukulele playing delivering a sound reminiscent of Nick Drake and John Martyn. His vibrant and heart-felt music incorporates a plethora of emotions and story-telling that engages audiences who are as likely to laugh with him as to be held in attentive silence.

Deeply Considered
Inspired by the life changing decision to leave Ireland and a day where the meaning and signifcance of love was brought into stark light, If boldly asks us to consider what love means to us.
Putting the Eye Contact Experiment to the test, Colm brought family, friends, strangers and his partner together to see just how powerful love really can be…
Spontaneous
Sometimes, as a songwriter, you just know when you´re on to something special. You Didn´t but You Did was one of these moments.
What started out as a simple lyric and hummed melody turned into a writing session where every thought and movement were captured on camera until the song was finished.
Write on Demand
The Dry Wall was a 12 week songwriting experiment which demonstrated Colm´s ability to create and craft new songs from scratch and have them ready to perform by the end of the week.
Colm continues to compose and is available for personal commissions upon request.
Dynamic
Life is filled with its ups and downs and every feeling, thought and emotion deserve to be heard. Hang ´em High, one of his darker songs, is powerful and unyielding.
Humour
The inspiration for “Everybody Farts” was the birth of Colm’s son!!!
Colm wanted him to know that everybody is human.
Life can be challenging and daunting at times and if you ever needed something to take someone off a pedestal, just know, that they fart too!
